The Pilgrims came for religious regions. They wanted to be free from religious persecutions in England. Many Puritans, though, came for economic reasons. They felt that "To study The Bible well you had to be educated well (quoted from the United States History book)". A lot of the first European settlers in America were indentured servants. These people couldn't pay for their voyage, so they agreed to work for a certain number of years in exchange for passage. They were also promised land, tools, clothes etc. when they finished their terms, but many times the owners just ignored this part of the agreement. The life of an indentured servant was a rough one (the younger you were the more time you were a slave), and many didn't even live long enough to see the end of their contracts.
